"Double Hump" new plug-ins inspired tune and BT

Hi,

I just gor two absolutely wonderful plug-ins. This is the first time for a very long time I've been really excited about any music product. And now it's software. Wow!

The plug-ins in question are Camel Phat 3 and Camel Space from Camel Audio.
They both mangle your audio in a pleasant way and if you go wild you will get some very cool "unpleasant" and "ugly" sounds as well. Everything I have tried has been usable in some context or other.

This tune is called Double Hump and it's not a dirty tune. The title comes from a camel having two humps and I got two plug-ins so I think it's an appropriate title.

The tune grew out of a clean guitar take that I ran through Camel Space. Then I tried another preset and that was cool too. Then I found another preset that I really liked and then a fourth so I just put four copies of the same guitar take and used four different Camel Space presets. Each preset increased the energy in the take for every version I tried so the song grew almost on its own.
In the background there is a plain synth pad. The underlying groove is some Stylus RMX loops I combined and put through Camel Phat 3 to give it some more "attitude".

When I needed a break I used some different chord, intensified the drums (NI Battery 2) and put some distorted guitars over it. I wanted some wierdness here so I put a dirty guitar part through Camel Phat 3 and screwed it up quite heavily.

All guitar tracks were recorded using my Suhr Classic with three V60LP single coils. Love that guitar.

Please note that all sounds apart from the flat synth pad and percussion/drums come from the guitar tracks. To give you an idea how these plug-ins sound and what they do I rendered a few examples for you. The full song and BT is at the end of this post. The backing track is interesting as you hear what the plug-ins do in context.
